E63s black badges
Has anyone tried this site before? Reasonably cheap so I'm just wondering if it'll be worth it. I have a diamond white e63 and I would like to remove the chrome letters to matte black.. Thanks

I did the plastidip thing on my badges as well. Looked OK. Didn't like the chrome, then realized it was the badges I didn't like, so just removed them altogether. It did look good with plastidip, if you're handy with it.

I hear you, well I do want badges, I do not want to plasti dip either. My patients is far too thin to take on that task lol. Where can oem badges be placed for order? Any sites?

That's the whole point of plastidip... You don't need to remove anything. Just mask off surrounding area, paint, and peel off what you don't want painted.

I struggled a bit with the plastidip process. I've heard others have had great and lasting success. Personally, if I wanted to change badge colors in the future, I'd buy or remove and paint.
But again, some folks have gotten pretty proficient at plastidipping emblems.

Just buy a new set of badges that are OEM and have them painted black. I'm not sure if your trying to go the most cost effective route or the best quality route. Paiting OEM badges is the best way to go as far as quality.

I ordered a set from eBay, it was a us company. They were about 45$ shipped and they
Look great and don't feel cheap. I also tried plastidip before ordering these and I'm probably not the best at DIY either but I've seen it done and they have come out well, just didn't not to fool with it again

getting them painted is the easy part
placing them properly is pretty difficult...filly got them done right on the third try (by a shop)
there isn't a template so it takes a steady hand
but if you really scrutinize the oem lettering, it isn't perfect either
